MEMORANDUM FOR RECORD

SUBJECT: Administrative Defense Logistics Management Standards Change 1244D, DLMS 

140A Workaround in Support of DLA Warehousing Management System (WMS) 

Implementation (Supply) 

The attached approved administrative change is effective immediately. This 

administrative change does not change or eliminate any existing procedures or add any new 

procedures. It provides temporary functionality during 1244B implementation. Please direct any 

questions to DEDSO.Supply@dla.mil.

Memorandum For Record (MFR) 

Administrative Defense Logistics Management Standards Change 1244D, 

DLMS 140A workaround in support of DLA Warehousing Management 

System (WMS) Implementation

1. ORIGINATING SERVICE/AGENCY AND POC INFORMATION: 

a. Technical POC: Rafael Gonzalez, DLA Logistic Operations, J345 Inventory 

Management 

b. Functional POC: Erin Fowles, DLA Information Operations, J6

2. REASON FOR CHANGE: 

a. Bottom Line Up-Front: This MFR documents a temporary workaround for WMS to 

be able to transmit DLMS 140A Small Arms and Light Weapons (SA/LW) Reporting via the 

Defense Automatic Addressing System (DAAS). This is a temporary workaround until all DoD 

Components implement ADC 1244B Establishing Visibility of Unique Item Tracking Program 

Items for Component-Owned Assets Stored at DoD Storage Activities and Corresponding 

Revisions to the Small Arms and Light Weapons Program.

b. Background: 

(1) ADC 1244B provided additional procedures for all active Unique Item 

Tracking (UIT) programs to include SA/LW. In addition, this change streamlined current 

practices under the SA/LW program reducing duplication of efforts within the DoD. Although 

this change requires a joint implementation, DLA WMS must implement ahead of the DoD by 

January 2024. Consequently, DLA WMS must implement a workaround to continue to transmit 

the DLMS 140A transaction until the ADC 1244B Go-Live, scheduled for calendar year 2025.

(2) In lieu of implementing transactions that are scheduled to be sunset, DAAS 

will temporarily generate DLMS 140A transactions on behalf of DLA WMS. As part of this 

workaround, weapon transactions codes (TRAC) will be limited to receipts (R), shipments (S), 

inventory adjustment losses (L) inventory adjustments gains (C), serial number only corrections 

(K), loss or stolen (Q), found or recovered (U), and Demilitarization (V). Offline 

communications between Service weapon registries and DLA may be necessary to address any 

concerns that cannot be addressed using the TRAC codes mention above. 

(3) When DLA WMS transmits a receipt, inventory adjustment, or a materiel 

receipt confirmation, DAAS will use the information contained in the transaction and generate 

the appropriate TRAC using the attached mapping. 

(4) DAAS will create and route DLMS 140A on behalf of DLA WMS only for 

the Defense Distribution Anniston Alabama (RIC SDB or BA4) and DLA Disposition Services 

Field Office (RIC SD9) when the national stock number (NSN) has a UIT code of AAA or AAB 

or when the materiel is identified by the materiel control number (MCN) in the Receipt 
Attachment, MFR ADC 1244D

Page 2 

(LIN02/010=ZZ), Inventory adjustments (W1905/0200 =ZZ (gains)), or the Shipment Status 

(LIN02/0200 =ZZ) 

(5) The DLMS 140A transaction will be routed to the component registry stated 

in the original transaction. When the component registry is not available in the original 

transaction, DAAS will reject the transaction back to WMS. 

(6) This MFR documents the necessary DAAS requirements to ensure SA/LW 

program continuity of operations until go-live. 

3. CHANGE IN DETAIL: 

a. Technical Details: None. 

b. Revised Transaction Flow: None.

4. TECHNICAL IMPACT: 

a. Additions or Changes to Data Elements: None.

b. Automated Information Systems (AIS): None. 

c. Defense Automatic Addressing System (DAAS): None. 

5. PUBLICATION/POLICY IMPACT: 

a. Defense Logistics Manual (DLM) 4000.25: None

b. Non-DLM 4000.25 Publications: None

6. REFERENCES: None.
